Feechopf, Alpine summit in Valais, Switzerland

Feechopf is an alpine summit located in the Pennine Alps between the Alphubel and Allalinhorn peaks. It reaches approximately 3,900 meters and stands as a destination for experienced climbers seeking technical mountain routes.

The area has been climbed by mountaineers since the 1800s, with European and Swiss climbers exploring these peaks. The growth of mountaineering in this part of the Alps established this location as a recognized climbing destination.

The name is Swiss German for Feekopf, linking the summit to the Fee area around Saas Fee; Kopf means head, not peak. The Feejoch (3807 m) and Alphubeljoch (3772 m) carry the same prefix and separate the Feechopf from the Allalinhorn and Alphubel.

The climb requires technical climbing experience and proper gear such as ropes and carabiners. The best climbing conditions occur during warmer months when the weather is most stable.

The north-ridge gendarme reaches 3,863 m, a few metres below the 3,887 m main summit. Most parties cross the Feechopf on the way from Mittelallalin to the Alphubel rather than climbing it on its own. The summit itself is free of ice, though the Feegletscher lies just to the north and the Mellichgletscher to the south.
